How did you start Spotify? You can't just run spotify from the terminal or use the original launcher ("Spotify") that comes with the Spotify package.

In order to load the adblocking library file, you have to run it from a terminal using LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify or use the new launcher ("Spotify (adblock)"), which is created during the AUR package's installation.
